ED in up arrow mode will do it for a few records.
If there are quite a few records but only a few possible characters
I'd explore the stored commands feature of ED.
Else I'd program:
listOfChars = char(128):char(129)....CHAR(251)
loop
read record ...
convert listOfChars to '' in record
write record ...
repeat
